    chkdsk/f not running ,says it is write protected?

    Hi,



    I realized your concern and will assist you to resolve the issue.

    Please answer the below question so that we can understand the situation better.

    1. Are you trying to run a check disk on read only file or read and write file?

    2. Are you trying to perform check disk from recovery environment

    Please follow the below steps and check if it helps.

    • Click the Start button, then click on
      Settings
    • Then click on Update and Security, locate and select
      Recovery and click on Advance Startup.
    • You will now enter the Windows Recovery Environment, once there click on
      Troubleshoot and then Advance Options.
    • In advance options I would suggest you to go to command prompt and run the check disk and check if it helps.
    Warning: Microsoft does not recommend interrupting the CHKDSK process. Microsoft does not guarantee the integrity of the disk if the CHKDSK program is interrupted .For
    safety you can back up your data before using the check disk command.

    Important: While performing chkdsk on the hard drive if any bad sectors are found on the hard drive when chkdsk tries to repair that sector if any data available on that might be
    lost.

    I would also suggest you to refer the link below and check if it helps

    why cannot run chkdsk disk is write protected

    How To Format A Write Protected Flash Memory ?

    ¿You already tried this one?...

    Run CMD


    1. diskpart
    2. list disk

    Then in the 3º step, put the correct number of disk in the list for the usb flash (if it's listed in disk 3, then you'll have to write select disk 3).

    2. select disk #
    3. clean
    4. create partition primary
    5. select partition 1
    6. active
    7. format fs=fat32
    8. assign
    9. exit

    with that commands you will format the flash drive in fat32, if you have a large drive you can select also "format fs=ntfs" in step 7.

    good luck!
